I am a supervisor and I work with the mentally challenged and the developemental disabled. They really have a good time at our party. They also look forward to it. When I first started in 2003 there were only 50 consumers now we have 149 and we really need as many donations as possible. We are a none profit organization who really supports the disabled. Any gift basket or blankets anything will help. We have drawings for door prizes and thats when our little people win their prizes. Please e-mail me at chandrafrazier@comfortlivingservices.com for any questions and I will try and answer them. Once again every little bit counts and the smallest not important thing for us means the world to them . Once again PLEASE HELP.

that's really thoughtful of you . . . i know you're trying to cast a wide net to get this taken care of, but it might be easier and more beneficial - and more community oriented - if you look in your community for resources. certainly local businesses might be able to sponsor or donate and you never know what an ad, a letter to the editor or a small article in the local newspaper (if you can figure out a way for them to write about you!) can bring. families of your clients might be able to kick in a little cash or manpower and even school kids/high school organizations might be able to donate time to help with decorating, serving or even like the high school band or chorus could come play some Christmas tunes. sometimes all you have to do is ask . . . and it's harder for people to say no when it's something positive in their own community - and when you're asking face to face. for door prizes, local businesses might be happy to donate one of their products or a gift certificate for services (hair cut, massage, cleaning, etc) and sometimes larger retail stores will donate products to a good cause. good luck!
